What Our Clients Are Saying....
Dropped my 10 month old DD with Darwin for a month and was very impressed. He worked on obedience and put him on a bunch of birds in the field and water.
Darwin built a great foundation for me to keep working on to have a successful dog for years to come!

Darwin was great training our German Shorthair from early puppy obedience to later field training. He has been very reliable and helpful in
training the hunter as well as the rest of my family, going as far as making sure we were all present on pickup day to ensure the entire family
is on board with Briar’s progress. He continues to be readily available at anytime you could possible have questions. We are very impressed with
Darwin’s professionalism and dedication to his clients, human and dog alike.

Darwin takes the time to learn your dog's preferred learning method and uses tailored techniques to positively train your dog.
Darwin did a great job getting our dog ready, and taking him through, his spring and fall ability tests. He has a passion not only
for hunting and training, but the health and wellness of each dog he works with. Our dog Gus has really bloomed under Darwin's guidance.

A+ Breeder that will more than likely become your close friend! With dogs of this caliber you will always be calling Darwin and his wife Sara to brag up your 4 legged pal over a cold beer after the hunt!
I have always been around hunting dogs and have owned quite a string of different breeds, however I will never own anything but a Drahthaar from here on out.
Vom Brewhaus Kennel has put a ton of effort into making the ultimate breed even better, and Darwin has a wealth of knowledge from years of pro training and is always there to offer advice.
We purchased two pups from vom Brewhaus last December; they are outstanding in every way!
Weather they are hunting upland, water, tracking, retrieving, or laying by the fire at the end of the day..(.we just can't leave the beer unattended), that must be a German thing.
If you're contemplating a new hunting dog and are ready for the commitment of owning the VERRY best Vom Brewhaus is your kennel. Darwin Is extremely modest and easy to talk to;
definetly the kind of guy you want as a breeder and resource. Thanks again to Vom Brewhaus for the great times and kick a$$ dogs!

We picked up Auto vom Brewhaus (Surge) almost a year ago already. He is showing very good hunting and tracking drive in just the first year. We can't wait to run him through the VDD tests
and see how well he does. Surge brings a lot of excitement and love to our family as well. He is an amazing family dog that is well mannered and not afraid to cuddle in at night.
We will definitely be looking to get another dog from Vom Brewhaus Kennel in the future. Darwin and Sarah spend a lot of time with puppy development and human contact from the day they are born
to the day they go to their new home. They are also open to answering any questions through the dogs life Yes the kennel name is true, your new bearded friend might try drinking your beer.

We love how Darwin trained our GSP Gunner Duke for upland birds. My husband & I were both very impressed by his training ability, and the different techniques that he uses, while working with the dogs.

I had Darwin Paddock train my female Drahthaar (call name Gyp) for hunting (search & retrieve - upland & waterfowl) as well as for the VDD-GNA VJP, HZP & Armbruster tests. Dar did a fantastic job preparing Gyp, culminating in a tie for 5th place (over 60 entrants) in the Armbruster.
Gyp actually was just a couple points shy of first and with a little bit of luck, 1st was entirely possible. I'd say the ideal trainer is one with patience. So many trainers are heavy with brute force or heavy e-collar use. Dar has really great patience. Honestly all dogs are going to present some unique wrinkle or issue.
Being able to patiently work through challenges is BIG, as far as I'm concerned. Dar's patience shows in Gyp! Of course Dar does use the E-Collar and every go-getter dog is going to need to have that long distance control. But you can tell Gyp's foundation is not negative reinforcement.
Bottom line, I'd say Dar Paddock is a great trainer and takes good care of his clients (man & beast). Not surprising, a successful trainer has great support (staff or family). Dar's wonderful wife Sara, treats every dog they take on at least as well as their own, if not better.
5 stars out of 5 for Dar & Sara Paddock!

Writing this for my bro in law, Tom. he took his 6 mos old English setter. he was really impressed with how quickly she progressed thru her training. He was also very impressed that Darwin took the time to show him and his nephews how to continue to work with Shelby. He is happy to have a well trained dog to hunt with and enjoy. Thanks, Darwin
